Obituary of Teresa Bernadette Davies

DAVIES, TERESA BERNADETTE (O’REILLY) Surrounded by the love of her family, Teresa passed away peacefully on January 31, 2024, at Trillium Villa Nursing Home, at the age of 95.  She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 66 years, Ted.  Much loved Mom to Mary Ann (1981), Susan Chamberlain and her husband Wayne, and Ted Davies and his partner Shelley Dixon, all of Sarnia.  She was the treasured Nanny to seven grandchildren:  Shannon Dupuis and her husband TJ of Corunna, Jamie Chamberlain and his wife Katie of London, Jessica Huhn and her husband Dan of Buchloe, Germany, Erin Chamberlain and her partner Michael Peart of Brampton, Rachel, Meg and Matthew Davies of London.  She was the cherished Great-Nanny to eight beautiful children whom she loved dearly: Dylan, Jace and Kyle Dupuis, Cohen and Jack Chamberlain, Levi and Myla Huhn, and London Peart.  Teresa was predeceased by her parents Michael and Mary Ann O’Reilly and her siblings Mary, Ann, Pat, Mike, Jamie and members of the Davies family whom she was very fond of.  She will be lovingly remembered by her sisters-in-law Mary Jane O’Reilly, Ann Davies, Diane Gordon and by many dear nieces and nephews.

Her faith was very important to her and she and Ted were actively involved in the life of Sacred Heart Parish for many years.  She was a gifted knitter and lovingly made many sweaters, hats and scarves for family, friends and those in need.  Teresa was an avid gardener and enjoyed time spent amongst her flowers. She loved her family above all else and was truly a kind, generous soul.  Although her last few years were difficult, we find comfort in knowing she is with her beloved daughter Mary Ann, whom she missed every day.  We have lost our cherished Mother, but our hearts are filled with love and wonderful memories.

Special thanks to the amazing staff at Trillium Villa which was home to Teresa for the past nineteen months.  We are so grateful for the compassionate care, love and support shown to Mom and our family, day in and day out.  Thanks also to Dr. Michael Stoesser for his exceptional care over the years.
